ٱلْمُؤْمِنُون : ٨٢

  • قَالُوٓاْ They said
  • أَءِذَا What! When
  • مِتۡنَا we are dead
  • وَكُنَّا and become
  • تُرَابٗا dust
  • وَعِظَٰمًا and bones
  • أَءِنَّا would we
  • لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ surely be resurrected
They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
